Gambling Commission publishes proposed new rules to govern gambling in Britain
10 March 2006
The Gambling Commission has today published a draft of the new rules which will govern British gambling in future.
The changes are being introduced under the Gambling Act 2005. They are designed to secure the Act’s three objectives of keeping crime out of gambling, making sure gambling is fair and open and protecting children and vulnerable people from harm. They will apply to casinos, bingo clubs, lotteries and gaming machines, as well as betting and online gambling which are being brought under the Gambling Commission’s jurisdiction for the first time.
The Commission’s Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice sets out a raft of provisions, including new rules designed to combat problem gambling.
